Chapter Twenty-Eight: A New Journey
The radio in the sky echoed over and over again, Ling Long seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body in an instant, and as the vibration of the watch disappeared, Ling Yue turned around and picked up the mask, turned his back to him, and said in a cold tone: "This time, let you go." β
Kicking open the door of the granary, Ling Yue slowly left.
Looking at the empty surroundings in confusion, Ling Long didn't feel any relief.
Heavenly punishment, even if it passes, what can it be, is this honor that has been exchanged for the lives of countless people really worth it? Ling Yi didn't know the answer, and he didn't have the strength to think about this kind of question that was meaningless to reality, looking at Wu Meng's corpse in the distance, he only understood one truth: When a person dies, everything is over.
After a while, a large number of heavily armed white guards, armed with uniform weapons and protective masks, began to search the entire granary.
"Are you okay?" the girl dressed in white walked up to Ling Long and asked with concern, "The punishment is over, you can go to the location marked on the watch and choose where you want to go." β
Ling Long nodded, stood up with her support, and saw that Wu Meng's body was put into a black bag by them, and then dragged out of the door by everyone and thrown into the huge chariot.
Ling Long walked slowly down the street with heavy steps, and he saw that the city was full of workers who were dealing with battle damage and cleaning up corpses, many of whom Ling Long had also seen on other public platforms, and they were all important members of various subordinate cities.
Perhaps the lives of individuals are just insignificant specimens of dust in their eyes...... In the face of this so-called great era of supernatural beings, all the weak will be constantly squeezed out of their living space until they perish.
Coming to the place marked on the watch, Ling Long saw the floating ball glittering in the night.
The so-called floating ball, is one of the latest high-end technologies developed in this era, different from other traditional aerial vehicles, it is made of a rare material, not only can absorb the pilot's ability to obtain energy, but also can feed back the energy stored in the outside world to the set awakened, so whether it is military or civilian, it has extraordinary value.
Underneath the floating ball, two C-class powerhouses stood guard at the entrance with their hands behind their backs, and in addition to that, there were two other Ling Yi familiar figures hovering outside the door, as if waiting for something.
"Brother Meng!"
Ling Long beckoned to the two from afar, and seeing them, Ling Long's depressed mood also improved a little.
"Brother, you're here!"
Meng Yan and Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ling Long walking tiredly: "If you don't come again, we will have to hold a farewell ceremony for you in advance!"
Ling Long smiled reluctantly and waved his hand to signal that he was fine.
"Hey, where is Wu Meng's sister?" Meng Yanzuo looked and looked but didn't see Wu Meng's figure, "Aren't you together?"
At the mention of this name, Ling Long's smile froze, and the girl's appearance before death appeared in his mind again, and his heart was like a knife at this moment.
Punched Meng Yan hard, Luo Ying glanced at him, and whispered, "Don't you understand this, can you say a few words?"
Scratching his head, Meng Yan was also embarrassed: "I'm sorry......"
Sighing, Ling Long reached out and patted Meng Yan's sturdy arm: "It's great to see you again." β
"Actually, don't be too upset...... Heavenly punishment is like this, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and losing his life for points, this is the consciousness that everyone must do well before participating in the war. After Luo Ying finished speaking, she seemed to regret saying this again, and turned her head with a red face and didn't dare to look at Ling Long's eyes.
In fact, Ling Long's heart also understood that she was right, Heavenly Punishment was a life-fighting activity, for the sake of wealth, for the sake of all-out efforts, everyone participating in the competition had to face the ever-present threat to their lives.
"Alright, let's go too. β
After the three of them handed over the special anomaly watch on their wrists to the guards, each of them was also issued with a small certificate of heavenly punishment.
Stepping on the steps of the floating ball, Ling Long felt a gentle force driving his body forward, as if he didn't need his own strength, and could control his body with just his mind.
"It's amazing......" Luo Ying floated in the air, looking at the unfamiliar environment around her with novelty.
"Don't you understand, do you?" Meng Yan floated sideways into the rest chamber, "This big ball will change shape according to the driver's ability, I guess...... Sitting in the cockpit right now is supposed to be a junior gravity perceiver. β
Ling Long was relieved, and Luo Ying pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you participate in the heavenly punishment one more time, and give you a stinky beauty!"
The three of them came to the rest chamber, and as the buoyancy slowly wore off, they each found a place to sit down.
"Counting us, are there only 7 people left?" Luo Ying looked at the few people resting in the depths of the rest warehouse, and asked in a low voice, "How do I remember that there are more than a hundred people coming before going to bed......"
Hearing this, Ling Long looked at Luo Ying in surprise: "Demon King Zhan, have you gone to sleep?"
"That's right, anyway, the two of us have enough points, so there's no need to challenge that demon king, right?"
Ling Long looked at Meng Yan in disbelief, Wu Meng died in battle, almost all of the Demon King Challenge where the Awakened were wiped out, they didn't even know about it?
Spreading his hands, Meng Yan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.
This...... If Ling Long guessed correctly, the anomaly detection watches in the hands of the two demon kings definitely have the function of positioning the supernatural, so the probability of escaping is too low, or is it ...... Do they have something to hide from themselves?
"Everyone's here, right?"
At this time, a middle-aged man in a dark blue uniform walked into the rest room, and after looking around at everyone, he happily spoke: "First of all, I want to congratulate everyone here, you have successfully cleared this month's Heavenly Punishment Activity, presumably after three days of fierce battle, everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, and then, our Canglong Group will send everyone to the place they want to go." β
The man raised his hand and swiped it, and a translucent map of the five cities appeared in front of Ling Long's chair.
"You are free to choose the city you want to go to next, of course, this is just a registration, and in the end it will have to be adjusted according to the actual state of the teleportation channel in that city. β
Reaching out and touching the translucent map, Ling Long saw the city he was inβHurricane City S.
"Do you want to go back?" Luo Ying saw Ling Long, who had been staring at the map without speaking, and asked, "Don't you plan to go to other cities to relax?"
"What about you?"
"I'm going to go to City A in Heavenly Drive City, where it is said that there will be a selection contest for the 'Most Handsome Male God' in the near future...... Of course, it doesn't matter, after all, you have just experienced a life-and-death battle, and it is good to go out and relax. Luo Ying stretched, then stretched out her finger and pressed it on the city she wanted to choose.
"Then I'll go with you. Meng Yan also did not hesitate to choose the city where Luo Ying was going.
While the three of them were discussing the characteristics of each city, at the innermost end of the rest warehouse, a slender woman wearing a mask with a yin and yang face gently shook her long ponytail, the corners of her mouth rose, and she laughed in a low voice: "Boy, you're in a pretty good mood." β
